Craiglee Shiraz 2007
Likely to develop charm and elegance in the bottle, this fine, delicate shiraz has a meaty, earthy and leathery bouquet of dusty, briary dark berry aromas backed by nuances of chocolate, cloves and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, itÕs still remarkably concentrated, with deep, dark flavours of mulberries, blackcurrant and raspberries knit with fine, velvet tannins, revealing reductive complexity and finishing with length, depth and fresh acidity.

Winery
Craiglee
Craiglee is a tiny vineyard sited on rolling hills and pasture country on the edge of Sunbury. It’s an historic property, with an ancient gravity-fed bluestone winery and cellars that could easily be deployed again if a posse of health bureaucrats suddenly saw the light. Its vineyard is principally planted to shiraz, traditionally making a heady, spicy wine of peppery style and rare elegance. The 2010 Shiraz continues to be one of my favourite Australian wines. Unusually for such a small maker, Craiglee also keeps good stocks of back vintage releases, for which it asks very reasonable prices.
